It’s obvious that the screen has a slight curve to it, but we are also getting a nice look at those odd dock notches on the side which are just down from Samsung’s famous side lock switch. You can see the bottom hump that was included in the Nexus S and Galaxy SII, plus a possible camera housing on the other side of it. The grey metallic color is a nice surprise after seeing black phone after black phone for the last year.

I’m not expert but I can almost guarantee they wouldn’t put the lock switch on the bottom left. I keep trying to do it on my droid x and it just wouldn’t work. you would be accidentally pressing it while holding it constantly. that hum is def at the bottom

One thing has nothing to do with the other moron, this is a android website not an obituary.

Sorry dude but life goes on. Not everyone is going to stop what their doing and cry like a b*t*h. I personally did not not know him but he did do some things right with iphone and ipad. He died way to young from the same cancer that took my friend 2 years ago but hey, that’s life. And this is a Android phone site and we come here for Android news. If we want apple news we can go to macrumors, 9to5mac or Cnet(a bunch of apple lovers).
Apple failed badly yesterday and the phone you see above is going to prove how good Android really is. And if for some ungodly reason this phone does not live up to the hype their is always another Android superphone just around the corner. Good luck with that iphone “4”s.

droid hd will top them all 🙂 It will look better than this and it will have good spec as well

So is the right side the top of the phone, or the left? I assume it’s the right, since the power button’s usually near the top, but that would put the ‘lump’ at the bottom. At least on Motorola phones with a lump, it’s always been at the top too. Hmm…

Alright so this is one sexy beast. I know it’s already gonna have the good stuff like dual core, 4Glte, 1GB ram, etc.. But there are two things that I am really really hoping for and they have to do with battery life. I hope for some great battery life and wireless charging capabilities..

Seeing this is what killed Steve Jobs.

The curvature looks cool–does it add any functionality?

I returned the droid charge bc of it’s terrible switching issue between 3G and Lte in south Florida. I HATED having to give it up. I hope this phone fixes the glitch! My BB Bold is so ready to retire :0)

i have a bad feeling this won’t be LTE.

Anonymous

I can almost guarantee that this will be LTE especially if released by Verizon. It’s not a superphone without LTE. I bet Samsung was gearing up for a iphone 5 battle but a present fell into their laps. Don’t worry, this is the real deal.

My next phone hands down

Is this 4g? Wheres the battery go? They’d better have a rabbit in their hat or this is going to have worse battery life than the thunder bolt

ICS will probably handle battery better though.

The only phone I’ve been excited for this year….well…I was excited about the Bionic but the debacle of that phone made me lose interest. I have a feeling that this phone will send ripples throughout the mobile world.

Ben

After this view, I really think THIS is the phone I want. Prior to this, I was still looking at HTC or Motorola… because I like their build quality better. But THIS… looks exciting, and much more solid than what Samsung has done in the past.

Which end is up?
If it’s the right end, then there’s a bunch of fat stuff at the bottom.
If it’s the left end, that’s a strange place to put the ‘on’ button.

That pic can’t be right. Can it be that curved and still function properly or sit evenly? What about the glass front??

Andy

I don’t like the curve in the screen, either.

Anonymous

this will be a failure. The display and the curve look ugly.

Davros

If Verizon does let this be stock Google then HTC is gonna have to put the Vigor on their unlock list to have a chance. Can’t wait to hear more about these 2 phones. Haven’t been this excited about a phone since that first Droid commercial where they crash into the field.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9fXYQjwR0w

I can’t believe the people who brought us the omnia are bringing us this new hotness. Here’s to avoiding bad flashbacks to that horrible, horrible phone while killin’ it with this beast.

I remember that thing. Wow….

Henry Evetts

THAT WAS MY FIRST SMARTPHONE!!!! still have respect for it because of that, dont hate

Purpledoggy

Is it sad that I’m still sporting my omnia waiting for a decent phone to upgrade to?

There needs to be a Steve Jobs article. And quick!

Steve Jobs, RIP. You were/are a legend.

What is the point of curved screen? I don’t get it.

Anonymous

Supposed to be easier to handle with one hand. Not sure though. Anyone have first-hand experience with these?

Philip LaRocca

its also suppose to be for your eyes. because when you look directly at the middle of the screen its perfectly inline with your eyes. But as you look up a regular screen you are looking at the screen at an angle (the top of the screen is tilted up). As you move your eye balls up and down the curved screen your always looking at it at the perfect angle……. In theory it sounds good but i don’t know how much of a difference it actually makes. Could be bullshit

Disregard. I re-posted under the Steve Jobs article.
I know, crazy. All of a sudden I feel like there’s less innovation in the world. Before any sarcastic comments: He pretty much invented the way we use our phones, how we listen to music & compute. Hope someone steps up to the plate to continue innovation and competitiveness among manufacturers. As an Android user I recognize and respect what he has accomplished and brought, directly or indirectly, to the world of technology.

It was there before that article went live. And as amazing as that render is, it is bigger news.

It’s still off topic.

Maybe, but there is nothing that can be done about it. Once you post w/ diqus it’s there. Even if you delete it, it will stay there but just change your name to guest to preserve continuity of posts.

You can edit your comment and delete.

I know you can edit but last I tried to delete a comment it just changed my name to guest and kept the comment. Unless it has changed since then. It could also have different rules if someone responded to your comment or you responded to someone else’s. Rather then having a stand alone comment. If that made sense. :]

Yeah it is off topic but iSad . BTW galaxy desing is really great 🙂 I love it

With a strong iPhone-bashing ad campaign, this device could easily outsell the disappointing iPhone 4S. Apple has some major competition here.

Scott H

But is Apple bashing allowed within the first 6 months after Jobs’ death? 😉

(very much tongue in cheek, not a Jobs hater at all…)

pezjono

Bashing Apple (or more explicitly, the iPhone) is not bashing Steve Jobs himself. The company lives on and is still in competition. That doesn’t mean every other company needs to stay idle in respect. Steve wouldn’t want it either!
